Much has changed in 50 years – back in 1967, the world produced just less than 500 million CRUDE STEEL PRODUCTION tonnes of steel. In 2016, the world produced just over 1,600 million World crude steel production, 1950 to 2016 ........................................7 tonnes. Most of the growth came from new industrialising nations – Top steelmakers, 2016........................................................................8 Brazil, China, India, Iran and Mexico. Major steel-producing countries, 2015 and 2016 .................................9 Steel as a product is so versatile and fundamental to our lives that it is Crude steel production by process, 2016 .......................................... 10 considered essential to economic growth. Consequently, for most of the Continuously-cast steel output, 2014 to 2016 ����������������������������������� 11 past 50 years, the world has been producing increasingly more steel Monthly crude steel production, 2013 to 2016 ����������������������������������� 12 and sometimes more than was actually required – while at the same time, making the product universally affordable and promoting intense STEEL USE competition between its producers. Steel production and use: geographical distribution, 2006 ................. 14 In the global markets we operate in, fierce competition for trade will Steel production and use: geographical distribution, 2016 ................. 15 remain, with the present push to protect domestic markets probably Apparent steel use, 2010 to 2016...................................................... 16 continuing for the next few years. But we believe that it is crucial for Apparent steel use per capita, 2010 to 2016 ..................................... 17 policies to continue to promote a level playing field between countries RAW MATERIALS and regions.

    The Nature and Performance of China's State-owned Enterprises Paul C. Hubbard Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University November 2018 ii Candidate's Declaration This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. To the best of the author’s knowledge, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text. Paul C. Hubbard Date: 11 November 2018 Paul C. Hubbard The Nature and Performance of China's State-owned Enterprises iii Acknowledgements This thesis is the main publication from three years I spent as a Sir Roland Wilson Scholar at The Australian National University, from 2014–2017. The scholarship, jointly funded by the Commonwealth and the Sir Roland Wilson Foundation, supported my leave from the Department of the Treasury. My research proposal concerning the role of China’s state-owned enterprises combined my longstanding interest in China with what was then an emerging public policy issue in Australia – how to understand the ever-increasing wave of Chinese investment coming to Australia. In some ways this was an echo of Sir Roland’s own scholarship, doctoral investigation of capital imports and the terms of trade (Wilson, 1931). I particularly thank Lauren Bartsch, Bruce Chapman, Jenny Corbett, Ted Crook, Melanie Fischer, Ken Henry, Martin Parkinson, Steve Sedgwick, Joan Uhr, Michael Wesley, and others associated with the Sir Roland Wilson Foundation, and especially my fellow Sir Roland Wilson PhD Scholars.

    If You Want to Get Rich, First Build a Road

    If you want to get rich, first build a road A study on Chinese trade network building in Eurasia Marcus Syk Supervisor: Fredrik Sjöholm Department of Economics, Lund University NEKH01, Bachelor’s Thesis May 2018 Abstract This paper examines the effect of Chinese OFDI on China’s bilateral trade with affected countries, to investigate the possible build-up of a Eurasian China-centric trade network. The main contribution of the paper is to have combined economics, war theory and geopolitics to analyse and produce a theoretical framework for it. Whereas there is a lack of consensus on the effect of FDI on trade in general, this study suggests that the influence of the CCP over the Chinese economy allows the party to use Chinese OFDI for its own interests. Furthermore, trade has become a vital interest to the CCP. Another problem for the CCP is the increasing geopolitical tension with primarily USA. According to this paper, the formation of a China- centred trade network would help the Chinese domestic economic situation, increase Chinese influence in Asia and increase the economic resilience of China. All this would help address the aforementioned concerns facing the party. This was tested empirically using a modified version of the gravity model of trade. The result was in line with the theoretical prediction but not in line with the prediction of the gravity model. This could not be explained but was still taken to support the theory, thus opening for future studies on the subject. Keywords: OFDI, trade, China, Belt and Road Initiative, China-centric trade network Acknowledgments Warm thanks are in due place to all the people who have helped with the composing of this mediocre piece of academic work.

The company’s rating is constrained by its low raw materials self-sufficiency which makes it vulnerable to commodity price fluctuations, slow margin growth in key products amid rising raw materials costs, and relatively high yet stabilizing financial leverage in relation to its “BBB” category credit profile.

    Avril 2018 Bulletin d’analyse économique Sommaire VERS UN RETOUR A L’APPRECIATION DU RMB ET UNE LIBERALISATION « ORDONNEE » DU TAUX DE CHANGE ET DU COMPTE DE CAPITAL EN 2018 APRES TROIS ANS DE RECUL ? .................................. 2 La suspension inopinée au début janvier 2018 du facteur d’ajustement contra-cyclique (FCC), semble signaler le retour à la confiance de la banque centrale chinoise (ou People bank of Chine, PBoC) en ce GRANDE CHINE GRANDE qui concerne les perspectives de stabilisation du RMB au cours des prochains mois, ainsi qu’un probable renforcement des facteurs de marché dans la détermination du taux de change. Le FCC a été le point d’orgue des différentes étapes de gestion contrôlée du taux de change du RMB depuis 2015. Dans quelle mesure sa suspension prélude-t-elle d’un accroissement de l’incidence des forces de marché dans les évolutions du taux de change ? LE PROGRAMME D’ECHANGE DE DETTES CONTRE ACTIONS SEMBLE POUR LE MOMENT PRINCIPALEMENT ASSAINIR LES BILANS DES ENTREPRISES D’ETAT ET DES GRANDES BANQUES ....... 9 Dans le contexte d’une croissance inquiétante de l’endettement global de l’économie chinoise, les autorités chinoises ont fait de la lutte contre l’endettement des entreprises, en particulier publiques, la « priorité des priorités ». Parmi les principaux outils mis en place à cette fin figure un programme de dettes contre actions (ou Debt to equity swap, DES), réminiscence d’un programme de la fin des années 90 mis en œuvre avec un certain succès dans un contexte en partie similaire. Après des débuts difficiles, le programme semble être appelé à se déployer pleinement en 2018, avec un total d’environ 1 600 Mds RMB de créances annoncées fin 2017 comme devant être échangées au titre du DES (250 Mds USD, 2% du PIB, 1% des crédits bancaires).
